It may take two, but the Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley, are splitting up and getting their own separate covers for the December 2013 issue of Allure Magazine. The covers feature the former child stars looking fresh-faced and natural, and each sister's cover will be distributed equally across newsstands and to subscribers.

"[Strangers assume we] had enough money to just do nothing-or why would we go to college? And it's such an uneducated perspective," Mary-Kate told the publication. "You still have to grow within a business. You have to take a chance."

"I was reading scripts, and ultimately I just said to the people who were representing me, 'I need to do things 100 percent. I don't feel like I can give you 100 percent of my time,'" Ashley said. "There's a lot of compromise in the entertainment industry. I can't sit in this room and audition for this part."
